The Android API RTC_WAKEUP indeed refers to waking from deep sleep, I
see no reference to an API for powering on the device.

Title:
  Alarms don't wake up the phone when it is powered off

Status in Canonical System Image:
  Confirmed
Status in indicator-datetime package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in platform-api package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in ubuntu-ui-toolkit package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  The alarms API is not setting the device's RTC alarm to power on the
  phone when an alarm should ring and the device is powered off.

  This causes alarms to be lost.

  We are instead using Android's /dev/alarm interface which only works
  while the phone is on or suspended.

  See bug #1375855 which confirms this works on Android.
